Access Technology
The access technology program provides training and support to people who are
blind or visually impaired in the use of high and low tech items specifically
designed for this population.
ForSight Vision will provide computer evaluation training and support to interested
individuals. Topics covered include, navigating the computer using either a screen
reader or a screen magnification program, basic word processing, the internet
and e-mail, and file management. Prior to instruction, students will receive
an evaluation to determine what type of adaptive hardware or software they may
need in order to use the computer. ForSight Vision will provide instruction and
support for the screen reader JAWS for Windows, and the screen magnification program,
ZoomText Xtra. By gaining access to such computer applications a person who is
blind or visually impaired can increase his or her independence and job marketability.
In addition to computers, ForSight Vision will provice instruction for other
devices such as CCTVs, talking clocks and watches, voice organizers, and other
daily living aids and appliances. We are constantly searching for technology
that will improve the lives of people who are blind or visually impaired.
